Nothingness and More

And now on the topic of nothing to write about.

My life seems to be in a happy, jolly state right now so I think I’ve reached the dead end of writing something interesting. No confusion, no dilemma, no emotional tug-of-war that seems to be occupying my whole being in the first and almost second quarter of this year. I’m acknowledging that I’ve turned into a boring person lately but it’s not a problem really so I’m moving on to this subject regardless of its triviality.

With nothing to blog, to write, to ponder, to whine, to care (oh really) about, I’ve decided to alter my day-to-day rituals into other variations. This is sort of like a New Year’s resolution but it’s accomplished already or still in the process of doing it. Plus June is fast approaching; a half-year status report on my life’s progress would be a good topic to work on. Bear with me. If you’ve read this far, then proceed to the succeeding paragraphs. Otherwise, abandon this now because this is getting boring, even I can feel it. My writing sucks today. Just a few of my nothingness list begins here:

1. My favorite FX shuttle terminal near Shangri-La Makati has been relocated so I had to find an alternative ride after work. I now take the jeepney these days. I like it better since I love long trips and sight-seeing. Ok, I’m exaggerating this part. Financially speaking, it’s better by a few pesos.
2. Prior to my FX shuttle commute days, I ride a regular-metered taxi on my way home. Not anymore. I offset my cab fare to my snack break expenses. My snack break usually consists of a Chocquick hot chocolate drink and V-Cut Potato Chips bought from your friendly neighborhood Mini Stop Convenience Store which I think will topple Jollibee or Starbucks in terms of number of branches (yes, Starbucks, ang dami na eh). I rarely take snack breaks before, now I do.
3. I seldom watch movies in theater now. Not to mention the scarcity of a movie buddy that digs my kind of movies, my theater houses of choice have been cruel to my 150-peso budget. They are now charging an average of 170 bucks per movie. Rockwell and Greenbelt 3, I hate you…for now. But babawian ko kayo pag naging Makati Senior Citizen na ko, aaraw-arawin ko kayo dahil it’s gonna be free in Makati. Oh yeah!
4. I wear a black eyeliner lately. Nothing really, I just had to write it down. Maybe because I’m a punk princess.
5. I stopped watching TV all together for the past 3-4 weeks now. I hardly ever read the papers nowadays. With me being a visual person and always affected with what’s going on in the world, disasters here and there, I really don't know how to take bad news that well. It stresses me out and it makes me sleepless at times. I’m abandoning it for the meantime until more good news comes along. I’m not sure when.
6. I’ve stopped communicating with a friend whom I used to consider as a worth-keeping friend in the past year. I’ve decided to disconnect any tie that binds us together just a couple of weeks back. My reason? I have no “fair-weather friend” criteria in my circle of friends. Therefore, there is no room for this person.
7. I’ve been watching too much Ghost Hunters on YouTube that it makes me so wary about possible ghostly encounters in our home. Our TV turned on and off for no apparent reason one time and it’s actually one of my reasons why I also stopped watching TV (as written in my no. 5 entry here). Haha.

Oh anyway, this is really getting long and boring already. My mind suddenly went blank or maybe I was just hurrying up to finish this piece because it's getting late and the topic of ghosts is brought up, unintentionally.

Or maybe this piece is just boring.

Yawn! Zzzzzzz.
